Healing happens in connection

Welcome to The Healing Exchange

At The Healing Exchange, my mission is to help individuals and couples move beyond pain, disconnection, and self-doubt to build lives grounded in purpose, peace, and meaningful connection. I strive to offer a warm, supportive environment where every client feels valued and encouraged in their journey toward growth and restoration.

What we do

Services We Offer

The Healing Exchange One On One Therapy
individual counseling

Individual counseling at The Healing Exchange provides a safe and supportive space to explore personal challenges, process trauma, and navigate life transitions. Using evidence-based approaches like CPT and CBT, along with mind-body techniques, clients learn practical tools to manage anxiety, depression, and other emotional concerns. Together, we focus on building self-awareness, resilience, and a greater sense of balance in daily life.

The Healing Exchange Couples Therapy

Couples counseling is designed to strengthen connection, improve communication, and foster lasting intimacy. Grounded in the Gottman Method, sessions help partners understand patterns, resolve conflicts, and build a relationship rooted in trust, respect, and emotional safety. Whether repairing a strained relationship or enhancing a strong partnership, therapy provides tools to sustain love long-term.

About The Healing Exchange & Maritza

My Passion is Your
Well Being

Located near the heart of Crown Point, Indiana, just steps from the historic downtown square and the Old Lake County Courthouse, The Healing Exchange was founded on the belief that true healing emerges through understanding, connection, and collaboration.

At The Healing Exchange, therapy goes beyond conversation—it’s about discovering new ways to think, feel, and live. Whether you’re healing from trauma, navigating a life transition, or working to strengthen your relationship, this is a place for reflection, resilience, and lasting change.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 16 years of experience in social work and 9 years of clinical practice. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals and couples as they navigate trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.

I am certified in the Gottman Method for couples therapy, hold a Yoga Teacher Training Certificate, and have specialized training in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for trauma-focused work. My approach integrates CBT and CPT with mind-body and mindfulness practices to support healing on both emotional and physical levels.

I view therapy as a collaborative process—one that fosters curiosity, self-compassion, and growth. Whether I’m helping couples strengthen their bond or guiding individuals through anxiety, depression, or trauma recovery, my goal is to help each person cultivate balance, clarity, and authenticity in their life.
